Trent Alexander-Arnold’s future has been up in the air for some months, with Liverpool seemingly no closer to sorting out a new deal for the defender. The England international’s contract is due to expire at the end of this season, along with Virgil van Dijk and Mohamed Salah, with Alexander-Arnold starting the new campaign under Arne Slot in sensational form for club and country. With Jamie Carragher naming Alexander-Arnold in his all-time Liverpool XI, it’s clear that the 25-year-old right-back means a lot to the Reds, which is why the defender leaving next summer for nothing would be such a…
Real Madrid’s Jude Bellingham has been told he could be “the final piece in the puzzle” for Trent Alexander-Arnold’s potential move to Real Madrid. WHAT HAPPENED? Alexander-Arnold has less than 12 months left to run his Liverpool contract and from January 1, 2025, he will be free to sign a pre-contract agreement with any potential suitors. This opens the door for Real Madrid to swoop in and the lure of playing for one of the biggest clubs in world football could be too tempting to turn down for the England international. THE BIGGER PICTURE While Alexander-Arnold has boyhood connections to…
Liverpool chiefs are already identifying targets ahead of next year’s summer transfer window.

Liverpool are coming into a crucial period in terms of contract renewals at the club. Things have been going really well for the Reds ever since Arne Slot joined this summer. One poor result against Nottingham Forest aside, it has been perfect. Unfortunately, the good performances have not led to any movement in regards to the futures of Trent Alexander-Arnold, Mohamed Salah and Virgil van Dijk. Alexander-Arnold surprised reporters after Saturday’s win over Bournemouth by speaking openly about his own future. Although Trent sounded happy and keen to stay at Anfield, there were also no definitive statements that he will…

Chelsea’s rise in the mid-2000s led to tensions and clashes between passionate supporters that persist today.

The Liverpool and Chelsea rivalry is not one based on geographical proximity or any deep historical context, it is a more modern rivalry born out of fierce competition and controversial moments. The rise of Chelsea in the mid-2000s led to constant clashes between the two clubs as they competed for honours both domestically and in Europe. The back and forth between the sides during this period developed a deep…
Liverpool are back on track in the Premier League after a relatively comfortable win over Bournemouth on Saturday. It was perhaps not as straightforward as the 3-0 result would suggest, but the Reds were never really in danger of repeating their dismal loss against Nottingham Forest from the week before. There were a number of really good performers from within the Liverpool squad who helped them do that. Gabriel Agbonlahor singled out four Liverpool players who really impressed him at Anfield, with most of Arne Slot’s side looking back to something like their best. Yet again, Ryan Gravenberch was among…
Liverpool’s success under Arne Slot has owed as much to keeping goals out as banging them in. Ten goals in five Premier League games has reaped four wins. But the only goal they have conceded – at home against Nottingham Forest – saw a rare defeat at Anfield. They then lost keeper Alisson to injury but back-up Caoimhin Kelleher came in on Saturday against Bournemouth and kept a clean sheet as they got back to winning ways. Now he insists the Merseysiders must kick on, take the momentum of Saturday’s latest success and run with it. After his first start…
Darwin Nunez could hardly keep his emotions in check by the time he finished his celebration. And all things considered, it was no surprise. After the Uruguayan was resigned to a bit-part role in the early weeks of the Arne Slot era – tallying just 82 minutes of action across four substitute appearances – his third, and undoubtedly most important, campaign at Anfield took off in usual headline-grabbing fashion on Saturday afternoon. As has become a common affair since he arrived in a £64m deal from Benfica two years ago, Nunez’s performance at the weekend – good, bad or indifferent…
